REM ========= CONFIGURATION AND INITIALIZATION =========

REM -- Determine the target directory.
REM This creates a folder called "CenturionConsultingProject2" on the current user’s Desktop.
set "TARGET_DIR=%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\CenturionConsultingProject2"
if not exist "%TARGET_DIR%" (
    mkdir "%TARGET_DIR%"

REM -- Convert Windows paths to WSL (Linux) paths using wslpath.
REM We need these paths for writing and executing our Bash script in WSL.
for /f "delims=" %%i in ('wsl wslpath "%TARGET_DIR%"') do set "WSL_TARGET_DIR=%%i"

REM Define the Bash script file and output file names (Windows versions)
set "BASH_SCRIPT=%TARGET_DIR%\CenturionConsulting_auto_ping.sh"
set "OUTPUT_FILE_WIN=%TARGET_DIR%\CenturionConsulting_ping_results_win.txt"
set "OUTPUT_FILE_WSL=%TARGET_DIR%\CenturionConsulting_ping_results_wsl.txt"

REM ========= CHECK/INSTALL WSL =========

REM Check if WSL is installed using the where command.
where wsl >nul 2>nul

REM ========= CREATE THE BASH SCRIPT FOR WSL =========

echo Creating Bash script in WSL...

REM We are “writing” the Bash script into the file (using the WSL path) line‐by‐line.
wsl bash -c "echo '#!/bin/bash' > '%WSL_BASH_SCRIPT%'"
wsl bash -c "echo '# This script pings a host 5 times and writes the results to two files:' >> '%WSL_BASH_SCRIPT%'"
wsl bash -c "echo '# (one accessible by Windows and one by WSL)' >> '%WSL_BASH_SCRIPT%'"
wsl bash -c "echo 'HOST=\"%HOST%\"' >> '%WSL_BASH_SCRIPT%'"
wsl bash -c "echo 'OUTPUT_FILE_WIN=\"%WSL_OUTPUT_FILE_WIN%\"' >> '%WSL_BASH_SCRIPT%'"
wsl bash -c "echo 'OUTPUT_FILE_WSL=\"%WSL_OUTPUT_FILE_WSL%\"' >> '%WSL_BASH_SCRIPT%'"
wsl bash -c "echo 'echo \"Starting ping of \$HOST 5 times...\"' >> '%WSL_BASH_SCRIPT%'"
wsl bash -c "echo 'for i in {1..5}; do' >> '%WSL_BASH_SCRIPT%'"
wsl bash -c "echo '    ping -c 1 \$HOST | tee -a \$OUTPUT_FILE_WIN \$OUTPUT_FILE_WSL' >> '%WSL_BASH_SCRIPT%'"

wsl bash -c "echo 'done' >> '%WSL_BASH_SCRIPT%'"
wsl bash -c "echo 'echo \"Ping operation complete. Results saved.\"' >> '%WSL_BASH_SCRIPT%'"

REM Make the Bash script executable.
wsl bash -c "chmod +x '%WSL_BASH_SCRIPT%'"

REM ========= RUN THE BASH SCRIPT IN WSL =========

echo Running the Bash script in WSL...
wsl bash "%WSL_BASH_SCRIPT%"
if errorlevel 1 (
    echo Failed to run the Bash script in WSL.
) else (
    echo Bash script executed successfully.
)

REM ========= DISPLAY A GUI NOTIFICATION =========

REM Use PowerShell to show a simple message box notifying the user that the process is complete.
powershell -command "Add-Type -AssemblyName PresentationFramework; [System.Windows.MessageBox]::Show('Ping operation complete.','Notification')"
